Chapter 54 Chapter 54

Obviously, Su Linqiu didn't realize how terrible the women he met were.

When it was almost time for the first time, everyone had already gathered at the south gate: Manager Jiang bought several jewelry; Zhao Xingtai was carrying a bunch of packaged food; Mr. Lu'an didn't buy anything, but just carried a lamp with a childlike heart.

Everyone was here except Su Linqiu.

When it was almost time for the middle of the day, Su Linqiu arrived in a hurry.

Fu Yao looked at him with a sneer, "Where have you been?"

Only then did Su Linqiu remember what Fu Yao promised him tonight, but unfortunately he had a great time talking to Miss Fu and forgot about this.

"I was dispersed by the abortion and I couldn't find you." He lied.

Fu Yao snorted coldly, too lazy to expose him, so he turned around and left.

When the group returned to the Taoist temple again, Mr. Lu'an thanked: "Thank you, the Lord of the Temple, for giving me a chance to open my eyes tonight, otherwise I wouldn't have known that there was such a wonderful thing in this world."

"You're welcome." Fu Yao asked Manager Jiang and others to help take the old man down the mountain. After the others separated, she carried Su Linqiu's back into the subjective position and said angrily: "Are you playing tricks on me?"

"How dare I," Su Linqiu knew that she was still talking about tonight, and he was indeed inappropriate, so she apologized repeatedly, "I was just tripped up by other things today."

"Yes, you were stuck in other things, but you caused me annoyance." Fu Yao said with a sinister face, "You meet the girl from the Duke of Ding tonight. How can you be able to rush? If the Duke of Ding blames me, my Taoist temple will be affected. You go, our transaction will end here."

"No, the master," Su Linqiu also made an appointment with the girl to see her tomorrow night, so how could she lose her links at this time? "We didn't say which girl we had in the previous transaction, and now this is within the scope of the transaction. Besides, I didn't tell the girl my true identity, just said that I was a student who went to Beijing to study. She still didn't know anything, so how could it involve you?"

"Really?" Fu Yao's expression calmed down a little this time, "You really didn't say anything?"

"How dare I lie to you?" Su Linqiu flattered slightly, "Listen to you and me is not asking for death. And I dare not say such shocking things."

"This is almost the same." Fu Yao seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, "Since there is no irreversible consequence, I will force you to go around you and let it go tonight. As for our transaction, I have done what I did, you have broken the agreement yourself, and the mistake is not on me, so the transaction will end here."

"How can this work? I spent so much money and I have not got anything now. Master, you can't do this." Su Linqiu said dissatisfied.

"What do you want?"

"I have made an appointment with Miss Fu to see you tomorrow. Master, please help others to the end and send Buddha to the West." Su Linqiu said, the implication was that he wanted Fu Yao to help him do his good deeds.

"You don't even think about this. Sanniang, take the guests away." Fu Yao said.

Su Linqiu wanted to say something, but Sanniang was thrown out of the Taoist temple with her collar.

Seeing that the gate of the Taoist temple was closed, Su Linqiu slapped hard a few times but no one opened it. He was so angry that he thought, "Don't blame me for being unkind," and made up his mind to sell the secret recipe to others.

However, he walked a few steps down the mountain and was horrified to find that the recipes he sold and wanted to recall the methods he made them, but his mind was blank.

He suddenly felt a little chilling on his back. He turned around and looked back at the Taoist temple behind him, but felt that the brightly lit Taoist temple there looked more and more like the gate of the demon cave that was about to swallow people.

No wonder the other party was fearless. It turned out that what he exchanged was not just the recipe, but also his memories.

After Su Linqiu, who was full of fear, returned to her residence, she still felt scared. Finally, she ran to Li Fengnian and squeezed into a bed with him, which slightly relieved her inner fear.

Seeing that he was in a bad state, Li Fengnian asked him: "Brother Su, what's wrong with you?"

Su Linqiu covered her head, "It's so dangerous here."

But when Li Fengnian asked again, he refused to say anything, so Li Fengnian had to stop asking more questions.

The next day, Su Linqiu's mood had slowed down and he was not as scared as yesterday.

He recalled that since he had made a deal with that woman during this period, he seemed to have lost nothing except selling the transaction in his mind.

And so far, he has paid a lot, but in the end he has not got anything except some money. When he thinks of this, he feels a little anxious.

"Does the Duke have a great official during the years?" he asked his friend.

He wanted to know whether the status of this Duke was worth his efforts.

Li Fengnian was a little surprised why he asked this, but he still replied: "This is a title, and usually has a position. It depends on whether you are favored or not."

"What about Duke Ding, have you heard of it?"

"Duke Ding? That's not a nobleman in the capital. What do you ask about this?" Li Fengnian asked.

"A nobleman." Su Linqiu guessed in his heart, it seemed that this should be the ancient nobleman.

However, no matter how bad the nobles in the capital are, they must have a much higher status than the small county magistrate in this remote area. If they can marry a noble daughter, wouldn’t they have entered the circle of the nobles with one foot?

Thinking of this, Su Linqiu felt a little excited.

"Brother Su," Li Fengnian saw him distracted and recalled his thoughts, "What are your plans this year? Mr. He will no longer accept disciples. If you have been delaying this, I am afraid that nothing will be done by then. You are following me, otherwise you will go back to Jinling and I will ask my father to introduce a gentleman to you."

"Let's talk about this again." How could Su Linqiu leave at this time? He has already invested so much and has not yet regarded him as Mr. Lu'an's disciple. "Maybe he will be moved by me and willing to accept me as his disciple. Okay, I won't disturb you in your studies, I will go back first."

Looking at his departure back, Li Fengnian frowned even tighter.

Su Linqiu did not return to his residence, but went straight to the Taoist temple.

Compared to yesterday, he felt a little distressed. But in the end, the gambler was still mentally stubborn. He didn't expect that his previous efforts would fail, so he gritted his teeth and entered the Taoist temple again.

"What else are you doing?" Fu Yao looked cold and didn't want to see him again.

"Master of the Consciousness, I was wrong yesterday." Su Linqiu knew that he had to give in first at this time. Who made him worse than others and ask for something? "I did break the promise last night, and it was all my fault. I came today, and I want to trade other things with Master of the Consciousness."

Fu Yao sneered, "Do you want to meet the girl from Dingguo Duke's Mansion again?"

"Hehe, the master, you are as expected."

"You don't even think about it. With your background like this, the Duke Dingguo Mansion will not allow you to be the son-in-law of their mansion." Fu Yao said, "You should just give up your heart."

"This is not necessarily." Su Linqiu is very confident in himself, "Don't I have a viewer now, please help me?"

"I won't help you." Fu Yao refused.

"I know what you are worried about by the master. Don't worry. I swear, I will never tell anyone about you." Su Linqiu said, "You can take away my memory. You should let this vow come true as well. As long as I don't reveal your existence, what's there to worry about?"

Maybe seeing that he did have this sincerity, Fu Yao sighed and said, "It's not a big problem for me to use it occasionally, but if it is used frequently, it will be harmful to me."

"I know your difficulties," Su Linqiu gave three recipes in one breath this time. "I am not an ignorant person, please help me."

Fu Yao looked at the recipe above, took it away, and said, "I am not a ruthless person either. Let's do this. In the next month, after sunset every day, you can go to the capital from the tree, but you must rush back before midnight. This is the only thing I can do for you, and I won't interfere with the rest."

Su Linqiu was overjoyed, "This is no problem!" He felt that Miss Fu was not unkind to him. Although a month was a bit short, something could have happened in the middle. If it really didn't work, he would beg the audience to give him more time.

After the transaction was successful, Su Linqiu went down the mountain and he wanted to prepare his outfit again.

Sanniang looked at his departure back and asked her own host curiously: "You seem to hate him very much."

This was the first time she had seen the audience kill someone by doing anything.

"I don't hate him, but he deserves to die." Fu Yao said coldly.

Sanniang suddenly thought of the murderous intent of the observer that night, and immediately understood something.

...

After that, Su Linqiu traveled through the woods to the capital every night. Two days ago, he was still happy and was stammering on the third day, and he came to Fu Yao to exchange for more money.

A few days later, his whole body was completely renewed from head to toe. Even when Manager Jiang came to Taoist temple, he couldn't help but be amazed when he saw his clothes. Anyone who didn't know the truth thought he was a great master.

Su Linqiu's wealth made everyone in Fangjia Village like to get close to him. However, Su Linqiu didn't like to pay much attention to them, except Fang Er's eldest daughter.

As the times went on, rumors spread in the village, saying that Fang Er wanted to marry his daughter to Su Linqiu as a concubine. Fang Er was so angry that he ordered his daughter not to say anything to Su Linqiu anymore. The eldest daughter of the Fang family already knew some people and hid from Su Linqiu.

Seeing that the little loli was teasing, Su Linqiu was regretful, but fortunately, there were some gains in the capital.

He has now basically confirmed that Miss Fu is also interested in him.

However, what made him feel more guilty was that Miss Fu would occasionally ask about his family background. In order to avoid this question, he had to give out various valuable gifts to temporarily dispel her suspicion. He just had to ask for money to buy gifts, so he could only go to Taoist temple to exchange for money every now and then.

Fu Yao just watched Su Linqiu's luck decrease little by little at a speed visible to the naked eye. The snake-shaped dagger that was originally put away was held in her hands and played with. Every time Su Linqiu came to Taoist temple, she always felt a sense of pain when she saw the sharp light on the blade.

"Your dagger should be quite valuable," he said. "I always think this thing is spiritual."

"What do you think of the things in the ancient tomb?" Fu Yao said, wiping the blade.

"No wonder." Without a speculation, Su Linqiu left with the exchanged silver.

Fu Yao counted the recipes he sent and asked Sanniang: "How many times have he been here this month?"

"Nineteen times."

"Your sister's methods are really amazing." Not long after, Su Linqiu's luck had been reduced by half.

Sanniang was speechless.

Wu Niang is amazing, but she has never used it on the right path.

After February, the spring rain in the south of the Yangtze River was one after another. In such a misty season, Su Linqiu came to the Taoist temple and asked for another deal.

"Mr. Lu'an isn't looking for his grandson? I want to get the other half of the jade pendant."
